I think that the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, CT has a similar program.  There was also an excellent article in the NY Times a few months back.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Programming for Visitors with Dementia

 

Hi all,

 

The MFAH is starting a new program that reaches members in the community who are affected by dementia.  What we’d like to know is what similar programs look like at other institutions.  Please share your thoughts.

 

Thanks!!
